Nearly 100,000 young [Gith people] with sufficient fighting prowess were selected.
Despite the relative scarcity of supplies.
Most of them only wore slightly inferior equipment.
However, everyone has at least one powerful enough weapon!
That is the foundation accumulated bit by bit over the past hundreds of years.
Basically the same as all the wealth of the [Gith] race!
so.
There is no trial in this battle, and there is no room for error!
Or a total victory.
Or the whole army can only be annihilated.
Regarding this, [the Pope] was a little unsure at first.
But there was nothing we could do.
Because this underground city is located in a desolate place and has limited resources.
If it weren't for the [Water Making Technique], [Bread Making Technique] and other spells, the logistics could be maintained.
The environment here makes it very difficult to feed thousands of people...
But even with those daily spells that can maintain logistics.
In this area, other resources are still extremely scarce...
Their number directly limits the development of the [Gith]!
Even though they have the help of the [God-given Scroll] to continuously develop new technologies, they still have no resources to put them into practice.
Let most new technologies and knowledge be just talk on paper...
That feeling.
Just like a small and crowded fish pond, you can't keep a whale.
so.
There is little point in hiding it any longer.
The only way is to successfully expand the territory and rob those areas with scarce resources.
[Gith], this ethnic group has the opportunity to take a further step and become stronger!
And that kind of behavior.
There is no doubt that it is the same as facing the troops of the [Illithid Empire]...
It is precisely because of these reasons.
After careful consideration, the Pope made the decision to hold the previous [Festival] as grand as never before!
Use it to seek exact answers from the [God] of yourself and others!
now.
He half-knelt in front of the statue of the [Bloody King], feeling the aura of the assembled troops not far behind him.
He held tightly the silver blade in his hand that was releasing brilliance with one hand.
Feel the majestic power that can easily split mountains and split seas with a single wave!
[The Pope]’s face showed unprecedented confidence!
It’s as if victory has already been determined!
Because, he knows that [True God] is on his side!
Not long after, he was half-kneeling.
Slowly stood up from the ground.
Looking behind him, he saw the clansmen who had held their breaths and were looking forward to it.
The originally serious and calm face suddenly showed unprecedented pride and excitement!
The next moment.
As he raised the sharp blade in his hand.
Layers upon layers of silver-white ripples spread crazily like ripples!
time and space.
At this time, everything became stagnant!
final.
In front of everyone's attention, he shouted loudly:
"Victory is assured!"
"We will definitely follow the will of the [Bloody King] and completely destroy the [Illithid Empire]!"
"Let that ethnic group full of sin disappear forever!"
"Use countless blood and destruction to commemorate our sad past years!!"
"Now, under the watchful eye of our Lord!"
"I, [Church of the Bloody King], the second [Pope], Goethe Elaga!"
"I hereby solemnly declare that the war has officially begun!!"
When his voice, blessed by psychic powers, was transmitted to every corner of the dungeon.
After a short period of silence!
The deafening cheers, like a roaring wave, began to echo!
Regardless of whether they are male or female, old or young, every [Gith] face shows genuine excitement!
For hundreds of years.
Kill all the [Illithids]!
Destroy the [Illithid Empire] that brought endless shame and sorrow to the [Gith]!
It has long become the heaviest wish in the heart of every [Gith]!
They have been looking forward to this day for countless days and nights!
It was also at this time.
The top of the minaret.
That huge eye that looks down at everything.
Something strange appeared again.
Look around.
I saw a bloody flame moving inside.
Just when the [Gith] below was a little confused.
The flames shot out instantly, split into dozens of tributaries, and merged into the bodies of the warriors below who had participated in the sacrificial fight with lightning speed!
"Dong dong dong..."
Those dozens of [Giths] immediately felt that their hearts were beating crazily at an extremely fast speed!
At a speed that is several times faster than before!
It feels like some kind of machine running at full strength!
And inside their bodies.
Every drop of blood flows through their hearts.
It’s like being transformed!
While becoming more powerful than before, something has also been added.
Soon after.
"laugh……"
In the sound like a steam engine.
A lot of water vapor.
Through their skin, they are continuously and rapidly excreted!
And a similar pattern slowly appeared on their foreheads.
That is the [mark] of [Death Tribulation Flower].
Symbolizing the sign and power of Orshika!
The damaged skin is repaired, the injured organs are strengthened, and even the innate spiritual power of the [Gith] is strengthened...
[Bloody Guards: The maximum number of powerful believers recognized by the Bloody King is sixty-six. Every time an old member dies, he needs to undergo a special ceremony under the auspices of the Pope before the mark can be transferred to a new member.
】
[Feature 1: The vitality is greatly enhanced. Even if it is cut off from the waist, as long as more than half of the head is still retained, it will not die. The injury can be recovered by killing the enemy and absorbing blood. 】
[Characteristic 2: Combat blessing. During combat, it will make the best attack and defense based on its own situation in any situation. Except for curse spells and special spells, there is almost no possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack. 】
[Characteristic 3: Mark of murderous intent. During combat, you can release a special mark on targets that are not stronger than yourself, making it impossible for the opponent to leave an area within a hundred meters of you. 】
[Feature 4: The upper limit of talent is expanded. Spellcasting qualifications, warrior qualifications, and psychic abilities qualifications are all improved on the original basis. 】
Although compared to the "Slaughterers of All Living Beings", the blessings imposed on those "Bloody Guards" are not very powerful.
But this power has guaranteed the middle and high-level power of [Bloody King Church], giving them a broader future!
It also allows them to show off their skills in this grand war that has already begun!
